ISCE 2015, the 19th in the annual
series held since 1997, has provided a
forum for researchers, system developers, and service providers to share ideas,
designs, and experiences. ISCE is a truly
international event and a sister conference to the successful International Conference on Consumer Electronics
(ICCE) held in the United States.
This year, 112 papers were received
and 87 accepted. Fifty-nine of the
accepted papers were presented in regular sessions and the rest of papers (28)
were included in poster sessions.
The main topic of the conference was
"The future of video applications."
Some predictions say that more than
50% of the network traffic on the

october 2015

Internet is related to video transmission.
Two interesting keynotes were organized around this topic.
▼ Jeong-Hoon Park from Samsung Korea
presented, "The era of Ultra High Definition (UHD): The era of UHD broadcasting is just around the corner." UHD
TVs supporting 4K resolution are
already available in the market, and
broadcasting stations are preparing
UHD services. In the era of UHD
broadcasting, superb user experiences
can be provided by the eco-system,
which comprises consumer electronics
(CE) companies, Hollywood studios,
content distributors, and post-production and technology companies. The
increased resolution and the improved
visual quality based on high dynamic
range (HDR) and wide color gamut will
enable various UHD media applications. The new immersive media services such as a 360˚ video combined with
a head-mounted display also emerged
as a result of the recent progress in content production, distribution, and media
devices. This talk presented a future
media outlook in terms of immersive
media and devices.
▼ Bill Orner from Go Pro (United States)
presented "The explosive growth of
first-person video." Twenty years ago,
the concept of first-person video
required a camera crew to follow a person around. Today, with a device not
much bigger than a phone, you can capture higher-quality video than a news
crew. Rapid advances in image sensors,
low-power video processing, and precision optics have made high-resolution
and high-frame-rate video affordable.
Low-cost tiny cameras combined with
free cloud video storage means virtually
anyone can share a real-life event.
Other exciting subjects were presented by the keynote speakers, the first
was related to security while the second
focused on the Internet of Things.
▼ Sharon Peng from Harman (United
States), spoke on "Connected home:
technology advances and accessibility has pushed consumer electronics
to new heights." What are these consumer electronics that consumers
use in home environment every day?
How do they use it? How do these
